Furry by Sean Mcgann © 2019, RN Furry By Sean McGann © 2019, RN: PAu 3-960-188 [email protected] or [email protected] OPEN TO: BLACK. TAILS (V.O.) It rained heavily that morning. EXT. WINDSHIELD OF TAILS’ TRUCK - MORNING Rain falls upon a truck's windshield. TAILS, a teenage boy with dark brown hair, drives the truck. He wears a purple jacket with a dark blue T-shirt underneath. He has an irritated look in his eyes, and breathes quite heavily. TAILS (V.O.) I woke up at 6:35, and had to use the small amount of driver's ed knowledge that somehow got me a driver’s license to rush to school. Dad drove Mom to work, which meant I would be home alone till about 5:30 after school. For reasons I’ll get into later, I was nothing short of ecstatic. CUT TO: BLACK. CAPTION: A BOATS AGAINST THE CURRENT PRODUCTION CAPTION: A SEAN MCGANN FILM CUT TO: EXT. SCHOOL PARKING LOT - MORNING Tails parks his truck. CAPTION: FURRY INT. HIGH SCHOOL - MORNING Tails walks into school, disheveled and carrying a backpack. He walks through the front entrance, around a corner, up some stairs and through two corridors. TAILS (V.O.) My name is Miles Steadman, but (MORE) (CONTINUED) 2. CONTINUED: (2) TAILS (CONT'D) everyone called me Tails, if anyone ever talked to me. To be perfectly honest, I think I gave myself that dumbass nickname because I was a hardcore Sonic the Hedgehog fanboy back in middle school, when it was acceptable. A Dr. Pepper Sonic lover, as Dave the Bastard once put it. The nickname is because Tails' full name is Miles "Tails" Prower, assuming you care. Anyway, I was a junior, though I was smarter than half the boys in my grade. They were the kind of assholes that would dig a hole in the ground just to see if they could break something important, like a water pump or the Earth's core. INT. JUNIOR HALLWAY - MORNING Tails walks to his locker. He opens it and puts his things away. He takes out some books, utensils and folders. TAILS (V.O.) My story begins on May 5, 2015, four weeks before summer vacation. I thanked the Lord, because that meant I had a ten-week break from being my high school’s low-tier punching bag. Now, if I had a chance run-in with the drug dealers or try-hard gym kids during break, there would be a wider variety of places where they could publicly beat the shit out of me with no consequences. Tails closes his locker and goes into the first classroom on his right. TAILS (CONT'D) (V.O.) Don't worry, this story will get optimistic soon. INT. COMPUTER CLASS - MORNING Tails walks in. Save for the COMPUTER TEACHER drinking coffee near the right side doorway, Tails is the only one there. (CONTINUED) 3. CONTINUED: (2) COMPUTER TEACHER Morning, Steadman. TAILS Morning. Tails sits up front. TAILS (CONT'D) (V.O.) The first day in this story isn't really significant except to show you what my life was like before it truly began. And my past life started and ended with my girlfriend. Now, once I tell you about her, you’re gonna tell me that I'm crazy or autistic or that I need to die in a fire. That's fine. But at this point in time, I could care less what anyone thought. She was everything to me. My girlfriend was out of this world. In fact, she wasn't of this world. She didn't exist in this world; only my own. She was imaginary. And beautiful. And a mongoose. On a revolving desk chair, MELINDA, an anthropomorphic female mongoose, rolls over to Tails. She looks human except for her whiskers, pointy short ears, and spotted sandy-blonde fur all over her body. She wears a tight red T-shirt and white shorts. She looks over to Tails. MELINDA Hello, Foxy. TAILS So, you’ve come to see me at school today. MELINDA It appears so. Beat. TAILS Can I ask a possibly dumb question? MELINDA Possibly dumb? (CONTINUED) 4. CONTINUED: (3) TAILS I just need to ask something because I need to confirm my suspicions. MELINDA Ask your possibly dumb question. TAILS Why are you visiting me at school? MELINDA I wouldn't say that's a dumb question, Foxy. TAILS That's not an answer. Melinda smirks. MELINDA Well, I was at home doing... whatever the hell I'm supposed to be doing, when I saw Mr. Steadman drive Mrs. Steadman to work. My mind thought nothing of it, but after a while I realized that there were some, shall we say, pleasant implications. It will be... what, 6:30? TAILS 5:30. MELINDA 5:30 till they get home. My first thought was to run up here and tell you- TAILS We have a perfect opportunity to fuck? Long pause. Melinda gets serious. MELINDA It's been six days, Tails. Six days. You threw away six days and nights of quality time between me and you. I mean, you even threw away the weekend. Come on, Foxy. You know you can do better. (CONTINUED) 5. CONTINUED: (4) TAILS Which is why I'm spending quote- unquote quality time with you when I get home, okay? Melinda smiles and shakes her head. MELINDA Oh, Foxy. Oh, Foxy, Foxy, Foxy. Tails takes some headphones out of his pocket. He untangles them. MELINDA (CONT'D) Our anniversary is this Saturday. Can you believe it? TAILS Wow, four years and I'm still trucking. Melinda looks aside. MELINDA I'd drop the "tr" and replace it with a certain letter. That's us in a nutshell. Tails reaches to plug his headphones into the computer in front of him. He stops to turn to Melinda in disbelief. TAILS Was that cynicism? Melinda smirks. MELINDA Maybe, maybe not. TAILS Did I just hear cynicism come out of cute little Melinda the Mongoose? Melinda gives a tempestuous look. Tails chuckles. TAILS (CONT'D) I think I'm starting to rub off on you. MELINDA In more ways than one. (CONTINUED) 6. CONTINUED: (5) Both laugh. The teacher comes back into the room. COMPUTER TEACHER Everything alright, Miles? They stop laughing. Tails looks over to his teacher. TAILS Yeah. COMPUTER TEACHER Alright, just... wondered who you were... talking to. Tails is all alone. TAILS I'm just reading a story on Wattpad. COMPUTER TEACHER Oh... of course. Well, uh, don't be on that all day though. TAILS Right. The teacher is suspicious, but looks away. Tails looks over to Melinda, who has reappeared. She gets up from her chair. MELINDA Don't forget me. She kisses Tails on the cheek and runs off. Tails looks back to his computer. He plugs in his headphones. INT. DAVE’S RECORDING STUDIO - MORNING A mouth approaches a microphone. DAVE Welcome to the 69th circle of Hell. DAVE KELLEY, a bearded man in his mid-twenties wearing sunglasses and a cowboy hat, sits at a desk with a recording set-up. RALPH, a dorky man wearing glasses and a striped polo shirt, sits behind a pane glass window working the sound. He presses a button that starts a short jingle. Dave grooves to it, then leans on his counter when the music stops. DAVE (CONT'D) Happy Monday morning, motherfuckers! (MORE) (CONTINUED) 7. CONTINUED: (2) DAVE (CONT'D) This is Dave the Bastard on another episode of Bastardization Live. You know, if there’s one director who I think represents a true auteur, it’s Stanley Motherfucking Kubrick. Everything he did was deemed awful, slow and repetitive when it was first released, but after one to ten years, give or take a few, it goes from shit to “the shit.” You know, I remember when I was ten, I watched A Clockwork Orange for the first time. Now, I know what you’re thinking. You’re thinking, “Why the fuck did you watch Clockwork when you were ten?” Well, 'cause my parents were awesome, assholes! INT. COMPUTER CLASS - MORNING Tails listens to Dave talk. STUDENTS file in and sit at computers. DAVE (V.O.) Now, I find myself fapping to this film as an adult. Not the rape scenes, obviously. I’d hate myself if I did that, and as you know, when I’m not in love with Sabby, I’m in love with myself. No, the scene that always gets me hot and bothered is the scene where they’re testing Alex DeLarge to see if he was successfully turned into a pussy. INT. DAVE’S RECORDING STUDIO - MORNING DAVE A girl who looks like the heroine from Heavy Metal has her tits out and walks up to Malcolm McDowell, who I must say really needs to find better work than films on The Movie Channel at one in the fucking morning. Anyway, she’s walking towards him to see if he’s still the degenerate he was before the brainwashing. He tries to grasp for her tits, but he’s being overpowered by the bullshit the government has done to him. But at this point, I’m (MORE) (CONTINUED) 8. CONTINUED: (2) DAVE (CONT'D) too busy playing with my remote control, pushing all the buttons, because I’m picturing Heavy Metal chick as a skunk, my skunk, torturing me with her goddamn beauty. Her naked form standing over me, give or take the nipples. You know, I have never found nipples to be that sexy. They’re not a body part exclusive to women, for one.

  • The Language of Narrative Drawing: a Close Reading of Contemporary Graphic Novels
    The Language of Narrative Drawing: a close reading of contemporary graphic novels Abstract: The study offers an alternative analytical framework for thinking about the contemporary graphic novel as a dynamic area of visual art practice. Graphic narratives are placed within the broad, open-ended territory of investigative drawing, rather than restricted to a special category of literature, as is more usually the case. The analysis considers how narrative ideas and energies are carried across specific examples of work graphically. Using analogies taken from recent academic debate around translation, aspects of Performance Studies, and, finally, common categories borrowed from linguistic grammar, the discussion identifies subtle varieties of creative processing within a range of drawn stories. The study is practice-based in that the questions that it investigates were first provoked by the activity of drawing. It sustains a dominant interest in practice throughout, pursuing aspects of graphic processing as its primary focus. Chapter 1 applies recent ideas from Translation Studies to graphic narrative, arguing for a more expansive understanding of how process brings about creative evolutions and refines directing ideas. Chapter 2 considers the body as an area of core content for narrative drawing. A consideration of elements of Performance Studies stimulates a reconfiguration of the role of the figure in graphic stories, and selected artists are revisited for the physical qualities of their narrative strategies. Chapter 3 develops the grammatical concept of tense to provide a central analogy for analysing graphic language. The chapter adapts the idea of the graphic „confection‟ to the territory of drawing to offer a fresh system of analysis and a potential new tool for teaching.

Amongst the jungles and ravenous animals that threaten the various settlements across the planet’s surface, Calli is dealing with something much more dire: her sick mother, who is slowly dying from an unknown sickness. With funds scarce, Calli decides to do the impossible: to locate auracite, a rare mineral native to Kipos, in the hopes that it will provide her with the money to afford a cure. She leaves home with her friend, the sly and scruffy Sera, and encounters a whole new world outside of her own, one that will force her to answer questions she never knew she needed to answer: how far is she willing to go for someone she loves? iii Table of Contents Prologue 1 Chapter 1 6 Chapter 2 21 Chapter 3 35 Chapter 4 57 Chapter 5 80 Chapter 6 92 Chapter 7 123 Chapter 8 136 Chapter 9 156 Chapter 10 165 Chapter 11 192 Chapter 12 220 Chapter 13 245 Chapter 14 260 Chapter 15 279 Chapter 16 296 Chapter 17 313 Chapter 18 333 Chapter 19 358 Chapter 20 374 Chapter 21 387 iv Chapter 22 397 Epilogue 403 v Prologue Diana Hayford remembers Autumn.

    JUSTICE LEAGUE: ORIGINS Written by Chad Handley [email protected] EXT. PARK - DAY An idyllic American park from our Rockwellian past. A pick- up truck pulls up onto a nearby gravel lot. INT. PICK-UP TRUCK - DAY MARTHA KENT (30s) stalls the engine. Her young son, CLARK, (7) apprehensively peeks out at the park from just under the window. MARTHA KENT Go on, Clark. Scoot. CLARK Can’t I go with you? MARTHA KENT No, you may not. A woman is entitled to shop on her own once in a blue moon. And it’s high time you made friends your own age. Clark watches a group of bigger, rowdier boys play baseball on a diamond in the park. CLARK They won’t like me. MARTHA KENT How will you know unless you try? Go on. I’ll be back before you know it. EXT. PARK - BASEBALL DIAMOND - MOMENTS LATER Clark watches the other kids play from afar - too scared to approach. He is about to give up when a fly ball plops on the ground at his feet. He stares at it, unsure of what to do. BIG KID 1 (yelling) Yo, kid. Little help? Clark picks up the ball. Unsure he can throw the distance, he hesitates. Rolls the ball over instead. It stops halfway to Big Kid 1, who rolls his eyes, runs over and picks it up. 2. BIG KID 1 (CONT’D) Nice throw. The other kids laugh at him. Humiliated, Clark puts his hands in his pockets and walks away. Big Kid 2 advances on Big Kid 1; takes the ball away from him.

  • THE COLLECTED POEMS of HENRIK IBSEN Translated by John Northam
    1 THE COLLECTED POEMS OF HENRIK IBSEN Translated by John Northam 2 PREFACE With the exception of a relatively small number of pieces, Ibsen’s copious output as a poet has been little regarded, even in Norway. The English-reading public has been denied access to the whole corpus. That is regrettable, because in it can be traced interesting developments, in style, material and ideas related to the later prose works, and there are several poems, witty, moving, thought provoking, that are attractive in their own right. The earliest poems, written in Grimstad, where Ibsen worked as an assistant to the local apothecary, are what one would expect of a novice. Resignation, Doubt and Hope, Moonlight Voyage on the Sea are, as their titles suggest, exercises in the conventional, introverted melancholy of the unrecognised young poet. Moonlight Mood, To the Star express a yearning for the typically ethereal, unattainable beloved. In The Giant Oak and To Hungary Ibsen exhorts Norway and Hungary to resist the actual and immediate threat of Prussian aggression, but does so in the entirely conventional imagery of the heroic Viking past. From early on, however, signs begin to appear of a more personal and immediate engagement with real life. There is, for instance, a telling juxtaposition of two poems, each of them inspired by a female visitation. It is Over is undeviatingly an exercise in romantic glamour: the poet, wandering by moonlight mid the ruins of a great palace, is visited by the wraith of the noble lady once its occupant; whereupon the ruins are restored to their old splendour.
